[1.3] Wanderfully Balanced Kinetic Blaster

hi, nice budget build
just one question, how is shocking the enemy without Wrath in use? Is Herald of Thunder really enough to shock everything in high lvl maps? what's ur experience?

Tempest Blast node adds tons of Lightning damage from your phys wand, should be plenty to shock most targets together with HoL

I was about to go this way in the upcoming 1 month maybe, so I got a few questions to be clarified.

anyone has this build in use and could share some high level mapping experience pls?

hey there, nice build, a bit clumsy (from my part, since i was awau from the game for 1 and a half years).
what i wanted to ask is this: is viable?

Can you provide some advice on a levelling build?

hey iMbaQ,

im using your build in the beta hc league right now, im level 75 and cleared all maps i got (<=73) with no problems at all

my second reduced mana gem reached level 16 and i was pretty hyped for hatred, just to realize that they changed reserved mana for haralds from 25% to 30%

so we got 45 + 22 + 22 + 22 = 111

any thoughts on this?

lets say you dont have any of the gems or armor and starting from scratch and want to build this what would u level with until you get the gem?

hey ! thanks for the build, I'm lvl 69 in flashback atm. It's nice to play but i feel a bit lack of dps and survavibility. I have less than 5k dps with gmp and I can die with a few hit from rare monsters in map 66 (usually I don't thanks to flasks)

My stuff :

What should I change in priority ?

I decided to give this build a go and enjoying it so far.

I have a few questions:

1) When does one respec out from leveling tree and into main tree?

2) When does it become viable to start using Blood Magic?

3) Is there a benefit to doing spell cast totem for frost wall and not CoC?

I am not the one who wrote this build but, maybe I can answer to your questions :

1) I followed the leveling tree until i get to the 40 pts. After that I grabbed a few more nodes like Sentinel (I'm not sure about Depth Perception though), then I went for the upside of the tree. Once I achived to have a complete circle with the tree, I respec the lower path that we took for easier leveling (you can see it when you compare the final tree with the leveling tree). Respec the mana node when you can use Blood Magic (question 2)

2) For me, you can go for Blood Magic once you get a 5L because you can sustain with life leech. You'll kill yourself by using Blood Magic without any way to sustain your life pool. I was using Clarity + Herald of Thunder when leveling with mana and you may use a second Herald if you have enough mana to afford.

3) The greatest advantage for me to use spell totem is => Party Friendly. Party members hates frost wall (unless they're Kinetic Blaster ^^). Without CoC + Frost wall, you do get life leech + WED which are great add in case where you can't use frost wall (mostly in party so).
